Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reactor for biological sewage purification with activated sludge comprising an activation space and an upwards funnel shape separation space for fluidised bed filtration, especially suitable for purification of smaller and the smallest individual sources of sewage, e.g. family houses, resp. a colony of family houses, hotels, motels, smaller housing estates and so on.
  • Brown-Water-Concept is economical for purification of small and the smallest individual sewage sources, according to which the purified water from the premises of kitchens, bathrooms and from house washing machines is repeatedly used for sanitary purposes.
  • the condition for an efficient use of Brown-Water-Concept is, besides highly efficient purification of the sewage, also its purification directly at the place it occurs, in order to keep the distribution costs at the lowest level. This leads to a need of small and the smallest domestic sewage plants with high claims to the quality of the purified water, of sewage plants of small sizes, easily transportable, with a simple montage and with acceptable relation of prices. Such an apparatus which would fully comply with these conditions is still missing at the market.
  • EP-A-0 345 669 discloses a reactor for biological sewage purification which contains an activation space, and a funnel shaped separation space for fluidised bed filtration, created by a partition wall separating the activation and separation spaces. Communication between the activation and separation spaces is via a passage in the partition wall.
  • EP-A-0 346 669 discloses an apparatus which does not force all the liquor being treated to remain in the activation space for very long and indeed will allow the liquor to pass almost directly from the point of introduction into the activation space into the separation space. This will result in the liquor not receiving very much biological treatment and the apparatus failing to meet the above mentioned problems to any very satisfactory extent.
  • the aim of the invention is to create an apparatus which would effectively purify domestic sewage, namely both for little and very little quantities of sewage, which would provide high quality purified water and would be simple and with an acceptable price.
  • the object of the invention is to remove the disadvantages of the known solutions.
  • a reactor for biological sewage purification by a suspended activated sludge process containing a raw sewage inlet, an activation space and an upwards widening separation space for fluidized bed filtration in the tank, the separation space being provided with a flow withdrawal equipment for purified water, characterised in that the activation space is divided by at least one partition into a first (oxide) zone and a second (anoxide) zone, the first (oxide) zone being provided by aeration elements while the anoxide zone being provided with means to secure suspension of activated sludge, the separation space is connected with the first (oxide) zone through at least one transferring passage passing through the partition wall of the separation space, at least one said transferring passage opening into the bottom thereof, the first (oxide) zone being connected with the second (anoxide) zone, a suction inlet of a recirculation set is arranged in the separation space at the bottom thereof, the outlet of the recirculation set being connected together with the raw sewage inlet
  • mixing means positioned in the second (anoxide) zone.
  • the second (anoxide) zone and first (oxide) zone are divided by at least a part of one of partition walls of the separation space.
  • the separation space has the form of a part-pyramid or a part-cone eccentrically arranged to a part of the casing or the tank or it has the form of a pyramid or a cone.
  • the separation space is provided with a flow withdrawal equipment for purified water and a flotated sludge trap is arranged in the separation space, being provided with a pressure air supply.
  • the small size of the reactor results partly from the provision of a catch pit for coarse impurities inserted in the separation space. It is significant for separation of the denitrification process from other processes that the anoxide zone of the activation space is surrounded by its oxide zone, which is divided by the anoxide zone into two sections.
  • the separation space is at the same time arranged in the tank concentrically, wherein the partitions bounding the anoxide zone in the activation space are plane, vertical and directed through the centre of the separation space, or the separation space is bounded by two mutually parallel, upwards widening arched partition walls and by two plane faces, one of which is a part of the casing of the tank and the other face is parallel to the first face.
  • At least one flow baffle is arranged in the region of the passage and is attached to the partition wall of the separation space from the side of the activation space.
  • a mechanical agitating equipment is arranged in the activation space, wherein this equipment consists of pivoted load-bearing wheel and of a system of cups situated on the circumference of the load-bearing wheel, and an air supply leading under the necks of the cups is arranged to one side of the load-bearing wheel and a paddle-wheel agitator is coupled with the load-bearing wheel.
  • the load-bearing wheel is arranged on a shaft, on which the paddle-wheel agitator is also located, while the paddle-wheel agitator is formed by a system of supports fastened on the shaft and by a system of agitating paddles arranged on the supports.
  • the load-bearing wheel is arranged in the oxide zone of the activation space, while the paddle-wheel agitator is arranged in the anoxide zone of the activation space, partitioned from the oxide zone.
  • the agitating paddles of the paddle-wheel agitator lie substantially in the plane passing through the axis of rotation of the load-bearing wheel, and the necks of the cups are parallel to the agitating paddles.
  • the fact that the anodide zone of the activation space is tapering downwards to the bottom of the tank contributes to effectiveness.
  • a sludge discharge tube for removal of excess activated sludge opens into the activation space and its inlet is situated at between one third to two thirds of the reactor height above the bottom of the reactor.
  • An advantage of present apparatus according to the invention is its small size and compact and closed construction, permitting a large-scale production of easily transportable reactors.
  • An advantage is also easy location of the apparatus in the basement of residential houses.
  • a separation space 2 concentrically situated in the tank with the casing 1, which is preferably of a cylindrical form, said separation space 2 is bounded by the wall 3, the upper part of which is in the form of a conical casing and its short lower part is in the form of a cylindrical casing.
  • the casing 1 of the tank may also have the form of a polygon, e.g. of a square.
  • the upper part of the separation space 2 in the section may have the form of a square or other polygon, but it has always the form of a funnel.
  • the separation space is intended for separation of the sludge through fluidised bed filtration.
  • a circumferential activation space 4 is created between the casing 1 of the tank and the wall 3 of the separation space 2, wherein said activation space 4 is in one place partitioned by a partition 5, which is vertical.
  • the partition 5 forms a part of the catch pit 6 for coarse impurities, into which admission pipe 7 of the raw sewage connects.
  • a recirculation set 8 formed e.g. by an air-lift pump, the suction inlet 9 of which is led to the bottom of the separation space.
  • the interconnection between the activation space 4 and separation space 2 is formed by a transferring passage 10 with an inlet opening 11.
  • the transferring passage 10 is situated near to the partition 5 and in the direction of flow of the mixed liquor in front of the partition 5.
  • Outlet 12 from the catch pit 6 for coarse impurities opens into the activation space 4 in the direction of flow of the mixed liquor behind the partition 5.
  • a passage 13 is formed in the wall 3 of the separation space 2 at its short lower part in front of the partition 5 on the side of the transferring passage 10, while by means of the passage 13, the separation space 2 communicates with the activation space 4.
  • a floating sludge trap 14 arranged in the upper part of the separation space 2, said trap 14 having an outlet 15 for floating sludge, which opens into the activation space 4.
  • An inlet for air from pressure air supply (not shown) opens into the floating sludge trap 14, which is consequently aerated.
  • the same pressure air supply serves also as an aerating system in the reactor consisting first of all of aerating elements 16 connected with said pressure air supply through a distributing main 17.
  • the distributing main 17 is intended also for admission of air to the sludge trap 14 and to the recirculation set 8 represented by an air-lift pump.
  • the aerating elements 16 are arranged in the activation space preferably with different gaps between them and consequently different parts of the circumferential activation space have different intensities of aeration.
  • a floating withdrawal equipment 18 for purified water with an outlet 19 is situated at the level surface of the separation space 2.
  • the lowest position of the float withdrawal equipment 1 is determined by a stop 20 and a spillway (not shown) of the floating withdrawal equipment 18 is set up at a certain maximal withdrawal, not exceeding double the whole-day average hydraulic load of the reactor.
  • the lower level 21 of the reactor is the liquid level under an average load. Under a short-time hydraulic overload, the liquid level may increase up to the higher level 22 ( Figure 1).
  • Sludge discharge tube 23 leads from the activation space 4 ( Figure 1) and its inlet is preferably located in the upper half of the activation space 4.
  • the function of the apparatus for biological sewage purification is as follows:
  • Raw sewage flows through the admission pipe 7 into the catch pit 6 for coarse impurities.
  • the mixed liquor and air flows into the catch pit 6 which catches coarse impurities.
  • the recirculation set 8 represented by an air-lift pump accelerates the disintegration of paper from the sanitary apparatus and separates coarse depositable impurities in the sewage in the lower part of the catch pit 6.
  • the mixed liquor is led out from the catch pit 6 into the activation space through the outlet 12.
  • the mixed liquor in which raw sewage is admixed flows in the circumferential activation space 4 by a plug flow.
  • the mixed liquor with the admixed sewage is oxidised then in the next part of the circumferential activation space 4 by continuous aeration, which, at the same time, secures suspension of the activated sludge in the whole activation space 4.
  • the mixed liquor is oxidised gradually until it reaches the conditions suitable for nitrification processes, which requires a concentration of the dissolved oxygen in the mixed liquor exceeding 2 mg 0 2 /1, and then the mixed liquor is put to fluidised bed filtration.
  • the mixed liquor flows into the separation space 2 for fluidised bed filtration through the inlet opening 11 and through transferring passage 10.
  • the purified water is separated from the activated sludge in the separation space 2 by fluidised bed filtration and it is taken away by means of the floating withdrawal equipment 18, which is in the lowest position fixed by the stop 20.
  • the floating withdrawal equipment 18 makes possible a removal of at the very most double the average whole-day sewage inflow.
  • the level in the reactor may rise up to the highest level 22.
  • the difference between the lower level 21 and the higher level 22 represents the capacity for taking up a short-time hydraulic overload.
  • the level 21 rises slowly in the whole reactor, without increasing the rate of flow through the fluidised bed filter over the maximum limit for the rate of flow, e.g. over double of the average whole-day rate of flow, whereby a failure of the fluidised bed filter and a leakage of the activated sludge into the purified water is prevented.
  • This regulation of maximum purified water withdrawal reduces the demand for intensity of the separation and secures a high efficiency of the fluidised bed filtration also during short-time extreme hydraulic overload.
  • the activated sludge After withdrawal of the purified water, the activated sludge passes downwards into the lower part of the separation space 2 adjacent the suction inlet 9 of the recirculation set 8.
  • the passage 13 in the lower part of the wall 3 makes it possible for the activated sludge to pass through from the separation space 2 into the circumferential activation space 4 in the event that the aeration of the reactor is suspended, and this prevents sludge silting in the separation space 2.
  • the passage 13 secures also equalising of the levels in the separation and activation spaces during the reactor filling, or during its draining, or sludge removal, and this makes a pressureless solution of the sunk constructions of the reactor possible.
  • the floating sludge in the fluidised bed filter in the separation space is trapped in the sludge trap 14.
  • the trapped floating sludge is removed from the sludge trap 14 through the outlet 15 into the activation space 4, namely by the supply of pressurised air to the sludge trap 14.
  • the excess activated sludge withdrawal is performed periodically into a mobile tank for faeces disposal.
  • the sludge discharge tube 23 opens into the activation space in the upper half of the reactor.
  • the excess sludge is removed in operation of the reactor by drawing off part of the mixed liquor into a mobile tank for faeces disposal.
  • the mixed liquor is pumped by the recirculation set 8 into the catch pit 6 through the outlet 12 into the circumferential activation space 4b. So the circulation circuit is created, through which the mixed liquor flows, by a plug flow.
  • raw sewage is admixed in the catch pit 6 after removal of purified water in the fluidised bed filter, it causes - as mentioned above - a sudden drop of the dissolved oxygen in the mixed liquor, especially at the surface of the activated sludge particles, and so the conditions for dynamic denitrification are provided.
  • the narrow channel shape of the activation space 4 makes it possible that also a low aerating intensity is in the beginning of the circulation flow with a relatively high rate of flow sufficient to secure suspension of the activated sludge.
  • the denitrification regime in this part of the activation space 4 is not disrupted, which requires a low content of dissolved oxygen in the mixed liquor.
  • a contaminant degradation and a gradual saturation of the mixed liquor with oxygen content up to 2 mg 0 2 /1 occur, and so the conditions for nitrification of nitrogen compounds are created.
  • the increased content of the dissolved oxygen influences favourably also the intensity of the subsequent separation of the activated sludge through fluidised bed filtration, because the higher content of the dissolved oxygen in the mixed liquor prevents post-denitrification processes during fluidised bed filtration.
  • the mixed liquor is, after termination of the oxidising purification processes, subjected to the separation of the activated sludge suspension through fluidised bed filtration in the separation space 2.
  • the circulating mixed liquor brings to the circulation circuit zone at its beginning - with a lowered content of the dissolved oxygen - nitrates arisen in the nitrification zone with sufficient oxygen content.
  • the nitrates are reduced to gaseous oxygen in this zone with a lowered oxygen content.
  • the total intensity of the biological purification processes depends on the concentration of the activated sludge in the purification system, which is directly dependent on the separation efficiency. Integrating the fluidised bed filtration into the circulation circuit of the mixed liquor using surface of activation for separation provides a high concentration of the activated sludge, which afterwards causes a low load of the sludge, necessary to keep the nitrification running as the main condition for high intensity of the purification processes.
  • the separation space 2 for separation through fluidised bed filtration arranged to a part of the casing 1 of the tank is eccentrically situated in the tank with the casing 1, the tank having the form of a polygon ( Figures 3 to 5).
  • the separation space 2 is bounded both by a vertical wall of a part of the casing 1 and by oblique partition walls 3, which form the funneling downwards tapering separation space 2.
  • the separation space 2 has preferably the form of a part-pyramid or part-cone arranged at one side of the tank casing 1.
  • the activation space 4 is formed between the tank casing 1 and the wall 3 of the separation space 2 and it is partitioned by a partition 5 ( Figure 3), which separates the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 at least partially from the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4.
  • the oxide zone 4a and the anoxide zone 4b are mutually connected, e.g. through a connecting opening 26 formed in the partition 5 at the bottom of the tank ( Figures 3, 5).
  • An interconnection between the activation space 4 and the separation space 2 is formed by a transferring passage 10 with an inlet opening 11 (Figure 3).
  • a passage 13 is formed in the partition wall 3 of the separation space 2 near to its bottom, at the side of the transferring passage 10, and the separation space 2 also communicates with the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 through the passage 13 ( Figure 4).
  • a floating sludge trap 14 with an outlet 15 for floating sludge is located in the upper widening part of the separation space 2 and it opens into the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4.
  • An input for air from a pressurised air supply opens into the floating sludge trap 14.
  • Said pressurised air supply is preferably intended also for a pneumatic aerating system in the reactor, consisting of aerating elements 16 connected with the pressurised air supply through a distribution main (not shown).
  • the pressurised air from the same supply may also be used for recirculation set 8 represented by an air-lift pump.
  • An activated sludge suspension in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 is secured through the described arrangement for supply of the sewage to the activation space 4 and its passage out of the space 4 and through aeration of the sludge with a small quantity of air from the common pressure air supply (not shown).
  • the quantity of air is chosen so that it is enough to cause activated sludge suspension, but it does not disturb the essentially anoxide conditions in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 necessary for the denitrification processes. Consequently, the anoxide zone of the activation space 4 is provided with one or more spot aerating elements (not shown).
  • a floating withdrawal equipment 18 for removal of the purified water with an outlet 19 is located within the separation space 2 ( Figures 3, 5).
  • the lowest position of the floating withdrawal equipment 18 is set by a stop (not shown) and the spillway (not shown) of the floating withdrawal equipment 18 is set at a certain maximum withdrawal not exceeding the double of the average whole-day hydraulic load of the reactor.
  • Level 21 indicates the lowest liquid level in the reactor during an average load of the reactor; during a short-time hydraulic overload, the liquid level rises and it may reach the highest level 22 ( Figures 4, 5).
  • the apparatus is provided with a sludge discharge tube 23 for removal of excess sludge ( Figure 4), which preferably opens into the upper part of the activation space 4.
  • the described reactor consists of two sector parts (Figure 3).
  • One part - on the left in Figure 3 - contains the technological constructions forming individual function elements.
  • the other right hand part serves as activation space 4 and is connected to it.
  • Such an embodiment allows one part to be put into the other, which is advantageous for storage and transport.
  • the sewage flows through the admission pipe 7 into the catch pit 6 which catches coarse impurities.
  • the mixed liquor from the catch pit 6 is led in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 through the outlet 25.
  • the activated sludge suspension in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 is maintained through an aeration intensity so small that there is a lack of dissolved oxygen, which causes denitrification processes.
  • the mixed liquor flows through the connecting opening 26 ( Figure 3) formed in the partition 5 at the bottom of the tank into the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4, wherein intense aeration by aerating elements 16 creates an oxide environment, in which aerobic processes of water purification then take place, including nitrification of the ammoniacal and organic nitrogen.
  • the mixed liquor runs into the separation space 2 through the inlet opening 11 and through the transferring passage 10 ( Figure 3), and the activated sludge is separated from purified water by the process of fluidised bed filtration.
  • the passage 13 in the lower part of the partition wall 3 makes it possible for the activated sludge to pass from the separation space 2 into the activation space 4 if the aeration in the reactor is suspended.
  • the passage also secures the equalising of the levels in the separation and in the activation during the reactor filling or draining, or during sludge removal and this makes possible a pressureless solution of sunken construction of the reactor.

  • Suspension of the activated sludge is maintained in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 by the motion of the paddle-wheel agitator 37, the slight turning of which is caused by the effects of hydraulic forces on the system of cups 40 on the load-bearing wheel 39.
  • the cups 40 catch the air bubbles coming from the aerating element 16 located under them, this air forces water out of them, then the cups 40 are lifted by the hydrostatic forces and so they create driving force for the motion of the paddle-wheel agitator 37.
  • the downwards tapering anoxide zones 4b of the activation space 4 create, together with the function of the paddle-wheel agitator 37, good conditions for maintaining of the activated sludge in suspension, or for setting the settled activated sludge in suspension.
  • the raw sewage flows through the admission pipe 7 into the catch pit 6 for coarse impurities, from which it streams relieved from coarse impurities through connecting pipe 34 into the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4.
  • the connecting pipe 34 is led through the oxide zone 4a ( Figure 9), but it does not communicate with it.
  • the mixed liquor streams from the anoxide zone 4b into the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 through the connecting outlet 41. So a spiral flow of the mixed liquor from the inlet into the anoxide zone 4b to its centre near to the shaft 38 of the paddle-wheel agitator is created. Through this optimal flow is provided a sufficient residence time of the purified water in the anoxide zone 4b with a complete activated sludge suspendation.
  • the oxide conditions are created in the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 by aeration by means of the aerating elements 16.
  • the above-mentioned arrangement of the aerating elements 16 causes circulating streaming between both sections of the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 which is partitioned by an inserted anoxide zone. Said circulation flow is made possible by the passages 43 and caused by the aerating elements 16 always at the outlet from the passages 43.
  • the streaming of the mixed liquor at the outlet from the passages caused by the air from the aerating elements creates a suction effect in the passages, whereby the mixed liquor in the oxide zone 4a begins to flow in the circulating way.
  • aerating elements 16 By means of other aerating elements 16 is brought the air for perfect suspension of the activated sludge in the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 and the oxygen for biological purification processes. It is possible to put an entirely suspended activated sludge in suspension by means of the aerating elements 16.
  • the separation space 2 communicates with aerated oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 through the passage 32, through which the mixed liquor is taken away from the activation space into the separation space.
  • This simple solution of the mixed liquor admission into the separation space 2 is enabled by the intense recirculation of the mixed liquor in the circulation circuit with its withdrawal near to the bottom of the separation space 2 by means of the suction inlet 9 of the recirculation set 8.
  • the purified water is, after separation of the activated sludge through fluidised bed filtration, taken away by the floating withdrawal equipment 18.
  • the described system of suspension of activated sludge in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 using the paddle-wheel agitator 37 and aerating oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 makes the function of the apparatus with a high concentration of activated sludge possible. This makes it possible, among other things, to reduce the size of the reactor and so to cut its price and reduce the space required.
  • FIG. 9 and 10 Another variant of the reactor suitable especially for domestic sewage plants is shown in Figures 9 and 10.
  • the upper part of the separation space 2 merges in a cylindrical or prismatic form.
  • the partition walls 3 of the separation space 2 bear either directly or through its weight-carrying elements (not shown) on the tank bottom.
  • the arrangement of the separation space is concentric, as it is in the exemplifying embodiment ( Figures 9 and 10), or it may be also eccentric, e.g. the separation space 2 may be in contact with the casing 1 of the tank.
  • the partition walls 3 may be produced from a smooth material or from a profiled material. It is advantageous to make the shaping in the direction from above downwards and to create so low ribs at the surface of the partition walls 3.
  • An activation space 4 is formed between the partition wall 3 and the casing 1 and it is divided into an oxide zone 4a and anoxide zone 4b ( Figure 10).
  • the anoxide zone is partitioned from the as a rule bigger oxide zone 4b by partitions 5, 5a.
  • the lower part of the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 is provided with a mechanical agitator represented e.g. by a mechanical agitator 37 ( Figure 10).
  • the paddle-wheel agitator 37 is pivoted by means of a vertically arranged shaft 38 ( Figure 10) which is placed on a construction (not shown).
  • the load-bearing wheel 39 with the cups 40 and the paddle-wheel agitator 37 are situated in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4, possibly the paddle-wheel 37 and the load-bearing wheel 39 make one whole.
  • the air causing the rotary motion of the paddle-wheel 37 disturbs not at all the anoxide environment in the anoxide zone 4b because most of the air gets in the cups 40 up to the level and then escapes in atmosphere.
  • An air supply (not shown) is arranged to the load-bearing wheel 39 and it is located on that side of the load-bearing wheel 39 where the cups are turned with the aperture downwards.
  • a catch pit 6 ( Figure 10) for coarse impurities is arranged to the casing 1 of the reactor and to the partition 5 in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 and admission of raw sewage opens into said catch pit.
  • a recirculation set 8 represented e.g. by an air-lift pump is located in the catch pit 6 and the suction inlet 9 of said recirculation set 8 is situated at the bottom of the separation space 2.
  • the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 is interconnected both with the catch pit 6 through the connecting opening 35 and with the oxide zone 4a through connecting opening 42 formed in the partition 5a at the tank bottom ( Figure 10).
  • the aerating elements 16 are arranged in the oxide zone 4b in a similar way as in Example 4.
  • the interconnection between the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 and the separation space 2 is performed through the passage 32 formed in the wall 3 at the tank bottom in front of the partition 5 ( Figure 10).
  • the suction inlet 9 of the recirculation set 8 opens into the bottom of the separation space 2 and the outlet from the recirculation set opens into the catch pit 6.
  • An aerating piping in the form of an arch is located in the oxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 at the tank bottom and to the wall 3 and its beginning is located by the partition 5a and the end in front of the passage 32 ( Figure 9).
  • the sludge discharge tube 23 for withdrawal of excess activated sludge is led from the activation space.
  • the floating withdrawal equipment for purified water with an outlet 19 is placed in the upper part of the separation space 2 where its position also sets the height of level and it is entirely identical as in preceding exemplifying embodiment.
  • the suspension of the activated sludge is maintained in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 by the turning motion of the paddle-wheel agitator 37.
  • the turning is caused by the effects of hydraulic forces on the system of cups 40 on the load-bearing wheel 39.
  • the cups 40 catch the air bubbles coming from the air supply (not shown) located under them.
  • Said air supply is preferably connected with a pressurised air supply (not shown) meant also for aerating in the oxide zone of the activation space 4.
  • the air bubbles push out the liquid from the cups 40 which are lifted thereby and produce the driving force for turning motion of the paddle-wheel agitator 37.
  • the mixed liquor streams from the anoxide zone 4b through the connecting opening 42 into the oxide zone 4a.
  • the oxide conditions are created in the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 through aerating by means of aerating elements 16. So at the same time the conditions for perfect suspension of the activated sludge during the aerating and for bringing the suspended activated sludge in suspension again after temporary interruption of the aeration or after lowering its intensity are created.
  • the aerating piping 33 is meant especially for increasing of the aerating efficiency by setting the suspended activated sludge in suspension again.
  • the separation space 2 communicates with the aerated oxide zone 4a through the passage 32, through which the mixed liquor is taken away from the activation region into the separation space.
  • the baffle 30 limits the transfer of the turbulence from the activation region into the separation region.
  • the suspended activated sludge is separated from the mixed liquor in the separation space 2 through fluidised bed filtration.
  • the suspension of the activated sludge caught in the layer of the fluidised bed filter goes down in the lower part of the separation space 2, from which it is pumped together with the mixed liquor from the oxide zone 4a through the catch pit 6 back in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 by means of the recirculation set 8.
  • an internal circulation circuit is created in the reactor and in said circuit are realised all linking up processes of biological sewage purification, i.e. biodegradation, nitrification, denitrification, dephosphatisation, with a following separation of the activated sludge and its return back in the process of biological sewage purification.
  • the flow of the mixed liquor is in the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 from the connecting opening 42 to the passage 32 spiral together with the horizontal component of the plug flow, and so the conditions for biological biodegradation and oxidation processes of purification are created.
  • the withdrawal of the excess activated sludge is performed periodically through the sludge discharge tube 23 and it is transported by mobile tank for faeces disposal.
  • the total intensity of biological purification processes depends on the concentration of the activated sludge in the purification system and this depends on the separation efficiency.
  • the integral inserting of the fluidised bed filtration in the circulation circuit of the mixed liquor secures a high concentration of the activated sludge 6 to 10 kg/m 3 . With such a concentration, a very low sludge load is secured, which is necessary for high purification intensity and for needed sludge biodegradation.
  • the high degree of biodegradation is shown in a small production of excess sludge, which contributes to a significant economy of the whole process.
  • the processes with a high content of the activated sludge allow to reduce the size of the reactor and so to cut its price and reduce the space claims during its fitting.
  • a separation space 2 for fluidised bed filtration is formed in the right-angled tank with a circumferential casing 1 by partition walls 3 in the form of an arch.
  • the separation space 2 is arranged with one face being directly attached to the casing 1, so one face of the separation space 2 is identical with the casing 1.
  • the separation space 2 is partitioned at the opposite side from the activation space 4 by the face 48 ( Figure 13).
  • the partition wall 3 may be produced from a smooth material or from a profiled material. It is advantageous to make the profiling in the direction from above downwards, and so low ribs are created at the surface of the partition walls 3.
  • the activation space 4 is bounded by the casing 1, the partition walls 3 and the face 48 and is partitioned into two parts, i.e. anoxide zone 4b and aerated oxide zone 4a. It is possible to locate a catch pit 6 for coarse impurities in the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4, and the admission 7 for sewage opens into this catch pit 6.
  • a recirculation set 8 represented e.g. by an air-lift pump is situated in the catch pit 6.
  • the recirculation set 8 is connected with a perforated collecting pipe 31 situated on the bottom of the separation space 2.
  • the anoxide zone 4b of the activation space 4 is provided with a mechanical agitating equipment 37, according to the exemplifying embodiment with a paddle-wheel agitator 37 ( Figures 11 and 12) which is performed in the same way as in the Example 3 as shown in Figures 6 to 8.
  • the anoxide zone 4b is connected both with the catch pit 6 through the opening 35 and with the oxide zone 4a through the connecting opening 42 formed in the partition 5a ( Figure 14) at the bottom of the tank.
  • the interconnection between the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4 and the separation space 2 is formed by the passage 32 in the partition wall 3, preferably along the whole length of the separation space 2. It is also possible to form a system of passages 32 along the whole length of the separation space 2.
  • the arched partition walls 3 are fastened to the bottom and to the casing 1 of the tank.
  • At least one flow baffle 30 is arranged in the region of the passage 32 to the partition wall 3 at the side of the oxide zone 4a of the activation space 4.
  • the baffle 30 is preferably fastened to the partition wall 3 and is arranged vertically and goes substantially along the whole length of the partition wall 3. It is also possible to arrange several baffles 30 along the whole length of the partition wall 3. The baffle 30 is located near to the lower part of the partition wall 3 and its lower edge is situated rather above the lower edge of the partition wall 3. But it is also possible to leave out the baffle 30. If the baffle 30 is used, it restricts the transfer of turbulence from the activation region into the separation region.
  • the passage 32 connects just one side of the separation space 2 with the oxide zone 4a, which is the end part of the activation space 4 at the side reverse from admission 7 for raw sewage.
  • the floating withdrawal equipment or fix withdrawal equipment 18 for purified water with its outlet 19 is situated at the level of the separation space 2.
  • its embodiment is identical with the embodiment according to Example 1 as shown in Figures 1 to 3.
  • the reactor is provided with sludge discharge tube 23 for removal of excess activated sludge.
